In this Monday, Oct. 21, 2013 photo, Mexican clown Mimo Jazzo poses for a portrait at the 17th International Clown Convention in Mexico City. Despite their elaborate face paint, wigs and rubber noses of different sizes, the clowns reveal a slice of the humanity they seek to entertain: happy and sad, pensive and exuberant, playful and macabre.
